I voted yes for issue 2 in Ohio to uphold sb5, which will limit public sector unions. Enough is enough.

i hate public sector unions. their services are abysmal and they still demand lavish benefits that the private sector pays for through taxes.

Watch the video on here by your conservative hero RONALD REGAN say that without Unions and Collective Bargaining, there is no freedom. Put in Ronald Regan Collective Bargaining Freedom

I live in WI. an the Democrats an Unions are acting like a bunch of 2 year old children. Someone has to pay for what they all want an they (Unions an/or Democrats) are not even willing to pay for what they are getting. They want to get more an then push it off onto the Tax Paying Public, (young, old, rich an poor) so they can live like kings while the rest of the people starve in their own homes. Isn't it bad enough to have Obama in the White House, why do we need more of the same thing in WI

@Djmemez Corp tax avoidance is quite simple. Calif has a 43.8% corp rate (Fed 35% plus State 8.8%). Outsource, leave the US and pay 16% in Canada, or in 31 OECD nations pay just 24%. But then after a corp has left, a LIb will average out the zero a corp pays that is gone, with 35% of corp that is still here, and say they average only 15%. Get it, stupid?

@Djmemez US Corps pay little taxes for a simple reason. They take profits out of the US. They have fled, stupid. 80% of all tax credits are the foreign tax credit. Then, some dumbass Lib figures a "what if" they paid on TOTAL income! That is where low percent taxes (actual, not statutory, come from). "What if" they HAD NOT FLED. There is a reason to flee, far lower statutory rates nearly ANYWHERE else.

@luvcheney1 General Electric paid ZERO taxes in  U.S in 2010, because multinational corporations own Congress and the president. Why does Exxon Mobile get huge subsidies and tax credits? Same reason. Why did we bail out the banks and the insurance companies? Same. With corporate rule, we the people, have become the scapegoats and this means that workers have lost wages, benefits, and jobs. Our environment is being destroyed, our infrastructure in decline. The U.S. is looking very 3rd world.
